Infections caused by staphylococci

Staphylokokkeninfektionen

Infection Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

Staphylococci are not highly virulent bacteria. They require a predisposing factor in the host to initiate an infectious process. Primary infections are rare. Typical staphylococcal infections develop on the basis of alocus minoris resistentiae with the subsequent participation of multiple cellular and extracellular staphylococcal factors. A hypothetical view of the development of staphylococcal infection is briefly presented.

Zusammenfassung

Die Virulenz von Staphylokokken ist nicht sehr hoch; Infektionen durch diese Bakterien entwickeln sich nur, wenn im Wirtsorganismus eine Prädisposition besteht. Primäre Infektionen sind selten. Typische Staphylokokkeninfektionen entstehen auf der Basis einesLocus minoris resistentiae mit nachfolgender Beteiligung einer Vielzahl von zellulären und extrazellulären Staphylokokkenfaktoren. Ein hypothetisches Konzept für die Entwicklung von Staphylokokkeninfektionen wird kurz dargelegt.
